    Nice little sprint there from Quintana!
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Thought Yates was going to get there then, great ride from Jungels.

    Looks like Quintana picked up a couple of seconds?

    Quickstep's last 8 victories are all in World Tour races. And they still can't find a sponsor...

    Hope Kangert is alright. In 7th overall before that :(

    46.5 Km/h average in a stage with two GPM... really??? WFT!!

    Dumoulin's time over the last 6 km yesterday the same of Pantani 99... really???

    It's even worse when Direct Energie are in the race too.

    Yes. Flat, shortish stage yesterday with a lowish gradient climb at the end; 99 was a mountain stage, IIRC

    Today was fast because it took 120km for the breakaway to get away - peloton wouldn't let it go.

    Jungels "I think I showed some panache at the end". Surely the act of acknowledging your own panache makes it invalid?

    Fun stage.

    Grupetto came in 20 minutes down, which was still faster than the fastest time schedule...

    Gruppetto beat the fastest time for stage?
    He's obviously on the Sky Juice.

    Kangert with a broken elbow. Abandoning Giro.

    Yes correct. It's a variant of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The act of observing one's own panache makes the panache disappear. Or something like that.

    Just watched the recording.
    An absolutely bonkers stage.
    Quite the spectacular last 50kms, which Eurosport did their best to spoil.
    I had a feeling that someone like Jungels could and should go after the stage win.
    Not sure what Nibali was about. A fair bit of wasted effort chasing a win, for someone expected to aiming for the podium.

    Especially if he actually used the word 'panache'

    Poor from Jungels.

    Didn't quite understand the Orica tactics, but good stage to watch that.

    He should have made everyone go faster, nevermind slow down.
